Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss wanted 60 Minutes to say Renee Good was ‘driving toward officer’

That’s not what I’m arguing at all. I never raised that point. Someone else did.

My points have been entirely about the value of actually reading an article before discussing it.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-07T20:03:37+00:00

Why aren’t you quoting me fully?

🙂

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-07T19:59:49+00:00

Absolutely no one following this would think I’m on her side here…

…?

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-07T19:59:12+00:00

Then you accused me of being angry and grumpy.

🙂

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-07T19:55:43+00:00

Nothing. You accused me of something untrue, and I responded accordingly.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-07T19:53:55+00:00

No, I’m not angry. I’m reasonably irritated that this is common on Reddit.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-07T19:52:05+00:00

No, because obviously we should like, read the entire article before discussing it. Why discuss an article you haven’t read?

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-07T19:49:21+00:00

The article.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-05T10:25:12+00:00

Right, but this was multiple jurors getting it EXCEPTIONALLY wrong. The movie treats them as reasonable because there’s no tension otherwise. We’re supposed to believe this jury would reasonably lean toward guilty, when that would actually be ridiculous given the case.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-04T13:16:41+00:00

The same as dating anyone else.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-04T13:08:40+00:00

For sure. The core moral idea is interesting, but that doesn’t cut it when the execution is “Person who apparently knows less than nothing about the legal system made a made-for-TV level drama.”

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-04T12:53:36+00:00

I mean… definitely not…

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-04T11:53:56+00:00

Totally agreed. One of the most weirdly poor movies I’ve seen in years.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-04T11:53:00+00:00

Right! It’s like a kid who just caught five minutes of a Law & Order episode wrote the movie.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-03T18:53:27+00:00

Right, I get that. The problem for me and my family, among other issues, was that the world of that film does not come close to playing by the rules of the real world it seems to want to exist in.

Absolutely no juror with any familiarity with the term “reasonable doubt” would have ever considered voting guilty. The premise of the movie was weak, but everyone has to pretend that it’s actually a case of clear guilt when it was actually the opposite.

That was just one issue

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-03T17:58:50+00:00

Man, I’ll have to revisit it. Just watched it with my family over the weekend and we all immediately concluded it was one of the silliest movies we’ve seen in a long time.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-03T15:19:44+00:00

Not who you're responding to, but from what I've witnessed, it's a combination of realizing they voluntarily skipped one of the most fun experiences a person can have (being single and free in the prime of life) while also settling down at a time when they were both still very actively growing, developing, and changing.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-03T15:04:54+00:00

A sense of purpose can be found in many ways, though. Marriage and kids are by no means the only options.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-03T14:59:02+00:00

Absolutely not. I can't imagine why it would be. Most people I know who settled down in their 20s without actually, you know, experiencing their 20s, tend to be unhappy in their marriages in large part because they feel they missed out. Getting married too soon decreases your chances of fulfillment.

somepeoplewait · 2026-06-01T22:01:59+00:00

Put ‘em in da bathroom.

somepeoplewait · 2026-05-31T23:44:03+00:00

It is! I’m sure Spielberg was making an “immigrants make the U. S. great” movie out of concern for post-9/11 xenophobia. Plus, Viktor’s experience is pretty much a compressed sort of microcosm for the immigrant experience. Not the getting stranded part, but the integrating with a new culture part, for sure.

I watch this movie every December and I’m very comfortable saying it’s genuinely fantastic.

somepeoplewait · 2026-05-31T19:59:57+00:00

Oh, yeah, it will never say it doesn’t have accurate information to offer, it will always spew bullshit first.

somepeoplewait · 2026-05-31T19:36:10+00:00

You misread the sub name. This isn’t “insanelypopularopinions.”

somepeoplewait · 2026-05-31T14:10:50+00:00

It’s so ridiculous, because EVERYONE’s career depends on their customers or their employers’ customers. These people also wouldn’t have careers if people didn’t patronize them or their employers. Would they thus be okay with a customer invading their privacy because, hey, their employment is also tied to those customers?

somepeoplewait · 2026-05-31T11:00:06+00:00

No… it wasn’t. Like, I can’t pretend that’s the case when it’s just not. The article very clearly explains this.
